With Aaron Rodgers possibly jumping ship and, according to Bob McGinn, possibly McCarthy resigning, why would ANYONE want to jump into the mess created in GB by an inept group of Directors and their President?

If he bails for GB now, he doesn’t have much of a legacy in his first GM job. I can see him wanting to follow thru on what he’s built and hope Gruden is the man to take them all the way. I doubt Gruden was even available when he hired Del Rio.

I don’t think I’d read too much into this. McKenzie wasn’t comfortable in Green Bay, and they were happy when he left. There are probably other teams waiting to see what happens with Reggie. I don’t think he’s staying in Oakland.

Why would anyone want to go be the GM in Green Bay? Once Rodgers is gone, the Packers will become the next Cleveland Browns of the NFL. It;s just the facts. What athletes will want to move there with no Big name QB when they can live in Miami, NY, LA, or any other city that has things to offer other than ice fishing.

Ok there Mr Charger, makes complete sense that he worked there for 18 years, and they wanted him back. It’s employees who last 1 to 2 years that they really love.

Guys like you said the same thing about Favre leaving. Of course you guys also howled about how Atlanta “fleeced” the Packers on the Favre trade. Then the Packers turned the overweight, drunk, third stringer that Atlanta couldn’t wait to get rid of and nobody else would even entertain touching into a first ballot hall of famer.

You also howled with glee that the Packers let Favre go for Rodgers; and then the Packers turned him into one of the best QBs in history by changing his entire game. They changed his footwork and his entire throwing motion as well as taught him how to read defenses like no other. He too is now a lock for first ballot enshrinement in the HOF.

What makes you so sure they won’t develop another first ballot hall of famer when Rodgers hangs ’em up?

it might also indicate the quality of the GM job being offered in Green Bay. We saw what happened when the GM in Washington (Allen) moved up in the front office and turned the job over to a new GM (McGloughan). McGloughan did well, then disagreed with front office former GM Allen. So the McGloughan was kicked out. So I wonder how good of a GM job really is if one’s predecessor is still in the front office talking to the owner. In reality it makes you (the new GM) more like an assistant GM.

McKenzie just lost a lot of power (you’re crazy if you don’t think that) and leads a team that is stuck in limbo for two more years before it can move, but he still doesn’t want any part of the clown show in Green Bay.

I think allforfunnplay makes a good point. With Ted “transitioning” to something else, but still in the building everyday it’s going to make anyone uncomfortable. If your boss retired, would you want his job if he was still coming to work everyday? Probably not.

Packer fans have told us the Packers are the organization that all others strive to be. Now, all of a sudden, numerous people do not want to interview for an open job there. Why? They saw what the entire organization looks like with Rodgers playing. That organization is a mess. If AR stays healthy, they will be a wildcard contender. If not? Cleveland Browns.
